After killing Murakumo's original body with the help of Kanae, Marilyn and Wei, Akatsuki is likely indirectly free a young soldier named EN-Eins from his stasis before escaping from Gesellschaft's destruction. He and EN-Eins share a similar reason, destruction of Gesellschaft and its originator, the Tempera Orden.

At the time of the previous war, he was a military officer stationed in Germany who planned actions for an inspection group on military affairs through leading his Akatsuki unit, being both former superior of Akatsuki and ally of Fritz on the unit he led. In this position, he got in touch with Neu Tempera Orden through Mycale, including Ernst von Adler from Ahnenerbe, and established the Military Technique Research facility, nicknamed "Gesellschaft", then discover Agartha and created Blitz Motor. Towards the end of the war, news from Berlin is interrupted, but the "Gesellschaft" remains active.

Once an honorable man, the discovery of Blitz Motor and the “Perfecti” magical method turned him into a megalomaniac who will do anything to obtain a godhood, which involves sabotages the government and betraying his own allies behind the scenes for fifty years, such as his failed attempt on sabotaging Akatsuki's submarine, having had Adler killed Mycale's previous host to take over Gesellschaft under his rule, and causes Fritz to defect from the organization. The reason he and Mycale having a recent odd each other because of their different views to become an immortal Perfecti, whereas Murakumo wants to rule humanity under his tyrannical rule, while Mycale wants to destroy the old humanity and replace with new ones.

She can transform her Dainsleif from its sealed marshal wand state into a Devil Blade
bayonet. She was originally a mere palette swap of Mycale in
Akatsuki Blitzkampf prior to being re-introduced in
Ausf. Achse update as her own character and the second round's sub-boss of the said update after defeating Mycale.
Introduced in EN-Eins Perfektewelt • (full name: ) : : The sole survivor of Gesellschaft's Energaia cloning batch cloned from an unnamed Neuland God, yet inherit the bloodline of another discovered ancient civilization, Neuland. He is presumably indirectly saved by Akatsuki before Gesellschaft is destroyed after Akatsuki killed Murakumo's original body, with EN-Eins already escaped from the base during the said battle. He received the powers of Energaia due to being used for experiments by the Gesellschaft to achieve godhood and destroy the old humanity. EN-Eins aims to stop the evil military organization to avenge his clone "siblings" and save humanity. Unbeknownst to him, he is not the only survivor of his batch. • : : The former host of Mycale in
Akatsuki-title games after the latter possessed the body of the Holy Church member, Anonym Merel Lambuth. As Kati is now freed from Mycale, she becomes her own as a playable character. Kati was born in Germany and raised in
Shanghai, China, where her parents are associated with Sai, her first and only known friend. Unknown to her during her time after being freed from Mycale's possession, it was likely that Anonym Merel saved her life at cost of being possessed by Mycale. Once Kati unexpectedly awaken at
Tsampo Valley, Tibet, she found a morningstar wand called "Wand of Evil Eye: Morgenstern", and learns that Sai was the one who gave it to her for her own protection. The morningstar she wields holds a dangerous power that may curse its user with its eye. Thankfully, Kati is taught by Sai to be immune to the staff's curse with both index and pinky fingers holding up. Despite Mycale committing unforgivable crimes (including using Kati's body as her previous host), Kati still views her as a friend, due to being lonely like her. • : : The Anonym Merel's replacement and superior, after her disappearance and being possessed by Mycale. She is an elite palace guard of the Holy Club from an elite palace branch that is based on Switzerland, whose fighting style is an improved version of Merel's martial arts. Following Merel's disappearance, Anonym-Guard begin to search for her and free her from Mycale's possession. • : : The female clones of Valkyria, who resemble Nazi
Valkyries serving as the Neu Tempera Orden's foot soldiers like Elektrosoldat. Furthermore, Tempelritter's creation also directly comes from a genetic template of Valkyria's current host, Mitford, who was an early clone of Tempelritter batch. Despite having an unstable bloodlust when it reaches too far as the main flaws, they are still warriors at heart. • : : A self-proclaimed destroyer of the world who is both ancient Battle Maiden and a grandmaster (dubbed Praeses) of Neu Tempera Orden. After her soul was sealed inside the
Heilige Lanze, at some point during the beginning of World War II, a prototype clone of
Unity Mitford called "Mitford" stumbled upon the lance and touches it. However, Mitford committed suicide by shooting her own head to prevent Valkyria from possessing her. Unfortunately, the lance already fused with Mitford's body, as her soul ceased to exist, Valkyria's soul becomes dormant and heal Mitford's corpse. While possibly being an inspiration of Mycale's Dainsleif on having similar host possession attributes, Valkyria's Heilige Lanze cannot be easily removed from her host, due to the lance fuses with the host body and can be summon from a thin air. Sometimes later, like Adler, she also have let herself be cloned to mass-produce Tempelritter army, similar to Adler's Elektrosoldat. She briefly appeared as part of Mycale's Reflector moves in
Akatsuki-titles, until properly she made her debut in the sequel
EN-Eins. In the original version of the second game, she was simply a
power-up palette swap final boss version of Tempelritter, such as can use EX/Super gauge moves infinitely, even after “Perfektewelt” state being used and was highly recommended for the players to prepare a Reflector against her. Later being re-introduced as a fully playable balanced character in 1.10 update of the second game's update title,
Anastasis, to differentiate herself from her clone's moveset.
Introduced in EN-Eins Perfektewelt Anastasis • (real name: , or for short) : : Tentatively under an unidentified Blitzsoldier generic name. A mysterious unidentified Type-1 Blitzsoldier who rides the weaponized one seated motorcycle-like Elektromagnetisch Tracked Vehicle, and is thought to be the robotic counterparts of Akatsuki. He was originally found unused in the original version of
EN-Eins as an incomplete character. Based on his designs and move sets, Inazuma is a homage to
Kamen Riders. Inazuma's origin begins when Murakumo (now possessing Senke's body after Akatsuki, Kanae, Marilyn and Wei killed the previous body) took over the Land Research Institute's development. In reality, he was once known a ninth Energaia clone, the other surviving member his nearly extinct cloning batch besides EN-Eins, having been experimented by Murakumo to be equipped with Type-1 Blitz tech. By the time EN-Neun becomes Inazuma, he immediately escapes from Murakumo and discarded his former name, off-screen, until he resurface from the shadow few years later where the Neu Tempera Orden wages war against humanity. He aim to obtain a godhood for himself, making him a polar opposite to both Akatsuki and EN-Eins, but not as ambitious as Murakumo. Although Inazuma is not actually different than Akatsuki for having similar motives, as his reason to achieve godhood is to ensure its power never fell to the wrong hands. • 2 unnamed characters were originally planned through the crowdfunding stretch goal for their initial inclusion in this game’s full launch, with the second fighter originally set to be a non-playable true final boss of the updated game. However, in the end, the crowdfunding did not meet its goals for their inclusions in the updated game, by the time the crowdfunding ends, leaving their fates unknown. ==Development==
